Credit Cards
So many of you may remember that I had my credit card compromised over the Christmas holiday and the culprit drained my checking account dry at a online poker site. Although I was able to get all my money back, I learned alot.
Don’t use your debit card for online transactions.
I am still not sure how or where my card was compromised, although I have a suspision that it was from an online music retailer based in the soviet union - just a hunch.
So I have since stopped using my credit cards for any online transactions. I have however signed up for a PayPal credit card. It’s a MasterCard that uses the funds directly from my PayPal account.
This protects my personal bank accounts and I’m still covered through MC if my PayPal account gets compromised. So protect them credit cards people. Iif you aren’t into PayPal, just get a credit card that you only use for online purchases.
